Peng et al., 2014, Functional Comparative Study of Arabidopsis thaliana Glutamine Synthetase gene GLN1;1 and GLN1;5 in Response to Salt Stress during Germination, Molecular Soil Biology, Vol.5, No.4 23-30 (doi: 10.5376/msb.2014.05.0004)

In this study, molecular biology methods were use to analyze germinating overexpression transgenic plants and mutants of Arabidopsis thaliana glutamine synthetase genes GLN1;1 and GLN1;5 in response to salt stress, and activity change of Arabidopsis glutamine synthetase. The results showed AtGLN1;1 and AtGLN1;5 performed different expression profiles in different tissues, growth stages and under salt stress. The overexpression of AtGLN1;5 gene could contribute to strengthen germination and growth progress of Arabidopsis under saline environment.
